		The Book of Mormon makes it out like Jehovah, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are the same entity in several places.
		For example, here, Jehovah is going to take up flesh and get crucified.
		But wasn&apos;t it supposed to be Jesus that took that job?
	</p>
	<div class="cited-quotation">
		<cite>2 Nephi 6:9</cite>
		<blockquote>
			<p>
				Nevertheless, the Lord has shown unto me that they should return again.
				And he also has shown unto me that the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, should manifest himself unto them in the flesh; and after he should manifest himself they should scourge him and crucify him, according to the words of the angel who spake it unto me.
			</p>
		</blockquote>
	</div>
	<p>
		And here, the creator (Jehovah) is prophesied to show himself in the flesh in Jeruselum, then die for everyone.
		Again, that was Jesus.
	</p>
	<div class="cited-quotation">
		<cite>2 Nephi 9:4 - 9:5</cite>
		<blockquote>
			<p>
				For I know that ye have searched much, many of you, to know of things to come; wherefore I know that ye know that our flesh must waste away and die; nevertheless, in our bodies we shall see God.
			</p>
			<p>
				Yea, I know that ye know that in the body he shall show himself unto those at Jerusalem, from whence we came; for it is expedient that it should be among them; for it behooveth the great Creator that he suffereth himself to become subject unto man in the flesh, and die for all men, that all men might become subject unto him.
			</p>
		</blockquote>
	</div>
	<p>
		Here, the book talks about their god being crucified, and it seems like also their god being their Christ.
		Again, their god is Jehovah, not Jesus, but Jesus is the one that gets crucified later on.
	</p>
	<div class="cited-quotation">
		<cite>2 Nephi 10:3 - 10:7</cite>
		<blockquote>
			<p>
				Wherefore, as I said unto you, it must needs be expedient that Christ-for in the last night the angel spake unto me that this should be his name-should come among the Jews, among those who are the more wicked part of the world; and they shall crucify him-for thus it behooveth our God, and there is none other nation on earth that would crucify their God.
			</p>
			<p>
				For should the mighty miracles be wrought among other nations they would repent, and know that he be their God.
			</p>
			<p>
				But because of priestcrafts and iniquities, they at Jerusalem will stiffen their necks against him, that he be crucified.
			</p>
			<p>
				Wherefore, because of their iniquities, destructions, famines, pestilences, and bloodshed shall come upon them; and they who shall not be destroyed shall be scattered among all nations.
			</p>
			<p>
				But behold, thus saith the Lord God:
				When the day cometh that they shall believe in me, that I am Christ, then have I covenanted with their fathers that they shall be restored in the flesh, upon the earth, unto the lands of their inheritance.
			</p>

	<p>
		Here, we start off with nonsense logic, saying that if there&apos;s no Christ there must not be a god at all, then we try to prove there&apos;s a god using our own existence somehow as evidence.
		After that, we go on though and claim that the Christ is our god, meaning Jehovah and Jesus would have to be the same person:
	</p>
	<div class="cited-quotation">
		<cite>2 Nephi 11:7</cite>
		<blockquote>
			<p>
				For if there be no Christ there be no God; and if there be no God we are not, for there could have been no creation.
				But there is a God, and he is Christ, and he cometh in the fulness of his own time.
			</p>
		</blockquote>
	</div>
	<p>
		Here, it&apos;s again stated that a child born will be the everlasting father:
	</p>
	<div class="cited-quotation">
		<cite>2 Nephi 19:6</cite>
		<blockquote>
			<p>
				For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder; and his name shall be called, Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
			</p>
		</blockquote>
	</div>
	<p>
		And again, Jesus is stated to be the eternal god:
	</p>
	<div class="cited-quotation">
		<cite>2 Nephi 26:12</cite>
		<blockquote>
			<p>
				And as I spake concerning the convincing of the Jews, that Jesus is the very Christ, it must needs be that the Gentiles be convinced also that Jesus is the Christ, the Eternal God;
			</p>
		</blockquote>
	</div>
	<p>
		Finally, it&apos;s outright stated that these three are one god:
	</p>
	<div class="cited-quotation">
		<cite>2 Nephi 31:21</cite>
		<blockquote>
			<p>
				And now, behold, my beloved brethren, this is the way; and there is none other way nor name given under heaven whereby man can be saved in the kingdom of God.
				And now, behold, this is the doctrine of Christ, and the only and true doctrine of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, which is one God, without end.
				Amen.
			</p>
		</blockquote>
	</div>
	<p>
		I talked to the missionaries about it, and they deny that these three are the same person.
		I think it makes more sense for them not to be; I mean, if they&apos;re the same entity, why do they get separate names?
		Still, it&apos;s an odd quirk in the book.
		It makes me think its author, Joseph Smith, did consider them to be the same entity.
	</p>
	<p>
		And check this out:
	</p>
	<div class="cited-quotation">
		<cite>Mosiah 3:5 3:10</cite>
		<blockquote>
			<p>
				For behold, the time cometh, and is not far distant, that with power, the Lord Omnipotent who reigneth, who was, and is from all eternity to all eternity, shall come down from heaven among the children of men, and shall dwell in a tabernacle of clay, and shall go forth amongst men, working mighty miracles, such as healing the sick, raising the dead, causing the lame to walk, the blind to receive their sight, and the deaf to hear, and curing all manner of diseases.
			</p>
			<p>
				And he shall cast out devils, or the evil spirits which dwell in the hearts of the children of men.
			</p>
			<p>
				And lo, he shall suffer temptations, and pain of body, hunger, thirst, and fatigue, even more than man can suffer, except it be unto death; for behold, blood cometh from every pore, so great shall be his anguish for the wickedness and the abominations of his people.
			</p>
			<p>
				And he shall be called Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Father of heaven and earth, the Creator of all things from the beginning; and his mother shall be called Mary.
			</p>
			<p>
				And lo, he cometh unto his own, that salvation might come unto the children of men even through faith on his name; and even after all this they shall consider him a man, and say that he hath a devil, and shall scourge him, and shall crucify him.
			</p>
			<p>
				And he shall rise the third day from the dead; and behold, he standeth to judge the world; and behold, all these things are done that a righteous judgment might come upon the children of men.
			</p>
		</blockquote>
	</div>
	<p>
		Supposedly, this is about Jesus.
		However, if Jesus was created by someone, for example, if he were created by Elohim, that means he didn&apos;t exist from all eternity.
		He may exist <strong>*to*</strong> all eternity, but not <strong>*from*</strong>.
		It could be about Elohim, of course, but that would mean that Elohim was to come to earth and do all the things Jesus did, and was even named Jesus Christ.
		That would make Elohim and Jesus one and the same.
